Maximum Fighting Championship signs Shane 'Shaolin' Campbel

(PRESS RELEASE) -- The Maximum Fighting Championship's newest
addition promises to put on a show every time he leaps the top rope
into the MFC ring.

And he doesn't want to wait for the first opportunity to prove
himself so he's jumping into action right away with a spot on the
MFC 40: Crowned Kings stacked lineup.

Shane
Campbell has signed a multi-fight agreement with the MFC and
will debut in the organization live on AXS TV Fights on Friday, May
9 at the Shaw Conference Centre in Edmonton, Alberta. His opponent
for the featured lightweight battle will be announced shortly.

"I want to get in there and bang it out. When I start KOing people,
my title shot will come," said Campbell (8-2), who has won four of
his last five outings.

"People love coming to see me fight because I'm so dynamic. I'm not
afraid to do things like wild strikes but I also put my technique
together. I can do things that most people can't. Fans expect to
see a KO when I fight and that's 90% of the fans want to see. They
want a huge KO and they're excited about seeing it happen. "Every
time I fight my fanbase grows all over the world."

"Shane
Campbell is the kind of fighter I love and the MFC fans love so
it was perfect that unite," said Mark Pavelich, Owner/President of
the Maximum Fighting Championship.

"I want fighters who have a certain swagger and style, and I want
guys who want finish their opponent and make an impressive
statement. Shane is all of that and he is going to be a real threat
in the MFC lightweight division." Campbell is no stranger to fight
fans in his adopted home town of Edmonton, but as a veteran of the
K-1 scene, he has developed a following everywhere he's been. Under
various kickboxing banners, Campbell, who is originally from
Hamilton, Ontario, has fought in the United States, Netherlands,
Hong Kong, China, and Belarus, and his 62-9 record is highlighted
by a key win over notable Canadian fighter Trevor Smandich.

The 27-year-old (Twitter: @shaolinstylemma) feels this is the
perfect time and situation under the MFC flag to raise his
credentials and start his legacy in mixed martial arts.

"This is a beautiful time and opportunity to be a pioneer," said
Campbell. "I've got this opportunity to do things people have never
seen before. Something like the Teep kick to the face. I and lots
of other people did that long before Anderson
Silva did it but no one of his stature had ever done it.

"There are dozens of big things that I want to do. I want to be a
trendsetter and this my time and the stage to do it."
